I'm not from the us so I really dont know about the politics there, but bringing politics into the first date is just inappropriate

It's an identity for a lot of people. They wear politically-oriented clothes, plaster flags all over their vehicles, stuff like that.

To me, it's not even so much politics in general, but Trumpism in particular. Being a Trump disciple indicates racism, homophobia, and likely a willingness to accept an overthrow of an elected government if it gets the people you like in power.

Or at bare minimum a willingness to tolerate those things
